Chapter 207: Chapter 139: Silent Rain Cutter (Part 2)
Liou Yuan, who had started learning the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects, could effortlessly control his Canglan Sword to execute any swordsmanship within a hundred feet.
Beyond a hundred feet, he could still control it, but the reaction and speed would differ greatly.
"Within a hundred feet, magic might lose accuracy, but this Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects will never miss."
"It’s already capable of threatening disciples at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer."
The greatest advantage of learning the Artifact Control Skill is the distance.
If Liou Yuan uses this Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects wisely, he will gain substantial benefits in real combat.
Additionally.
Liou Yuan’s eyes suddenly focused as he controlled the Canglan Sword to return.
Bang! After a blast of dazzling blue light, the Canglan Sword flew back into Liou Yuan’s hand.
He wielded this newly acquired high-quality magical artifact to dance on the water surface filled with ripples of rain, using the Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship.
The Green Tide Pure Water Sword is a Water Acupoint Swordsmanship, seamlessly used amidst the river water and rainy weather.
The onset of the swordsmanship immediately drew the rain lingering above the river toward Liou Yuan.
First sword, second sword, third sword...
The Shock Tide Sword momentum stirred and unleashed a surge of sword aura, igniting radiant sword light over the river.
With each strike, more rainwater gathered around Liou Yuan’s side.
By the time he executed the eighth sword, the area within ten feet of Liou Yuan was enveloped by dense rainwater.
Liou Yuan stood at the very center of the rain, slashing towards the river with the last Shock Tide Sword.
Bang!
A brilliant blue sword aura erupted from the Canglan Sword, transforming into a long streak of sword light several feet in length.
The Canglan Sword was crafted specifically for deploying the Green Tide Pure Water Sword, and now this strike had received the reinforcement of the Canglan Sword.
Upon close inspection, within the center of that blue sword aura, there was a thin streak of emerald green.
The last Shock Tide Sword, already potent with the Canglan Sword’s reinforcement, found its might further elevated by the addition of the emerald green streak, reaching the peak of its power.
The sword aura surged and directly cleaved onto the river surface.
Boom! The raging waves astonishingly split the entire river in half.
The waves soared over ten feet high, with many water surges even pouring towards both banks of the river.
Splash!
Some parts of the river were also propelled into the sky, eventually cascading down as a torrential rain.
Liou Yuan stood firm amidst the torrential rain, surrounded by sword aura, with the space three feet before him untouched by even a trace of rain.
"The Green Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship is now at Small Success," Liou Yuan gently murmured, as if describing a trivial matter while observing the power of his strike.
The emerald color mixed within the Green Tide Sword aura is the second sword aura, Sushui, born only after achieving Small Success in the Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship.
The Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship consists of two volumes: the upper volume "Green Tide" and the lower volume "Sushui."
The upper volume, Green Tide, serves as the overt force, with the sword momentum not only sharp but also immensely destructive.
After mastering the Green Tide Sword aura, it will further evolve into an understated force known as Sushui Sword aura.
Green Tide Sword aura is fierce, like a tumultuous sea, grand in demeanor.
Sushui Sword aura lies dormant beneath the Green Tide Sword aura, unassuming and silent, hard to guard against.
The strike that cleaved the river was enhanced by the Sushui Sword aura, resulting in such formidable might.
Reflecting on the time, Liou Yuan had been training the Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship for over a year now.
It was about time to reach the Small Success realm and attain the Sushui Sword aura.
Moreover, during the battle with Ji Jie in Jiuli State, he gained significant insight into the swordsmanship.
Therefore, the breakthrough happened naturally, without any surprise.
Liou Yuan held the Canglan Sword’s peak horizontally before his chest, observing the stream of Sushui Sword aura flowing over the sword’s body, and a thought emerged in his mind.
"With the Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship at Small Success, combined with the Canglan Sword, I wonder how I would fare against Wang Ze Wen, renowned for his sword skills as the best of the First Peak."
Liou Yuan wasn’t necessarily aiming to contest with Wang Ze Wen for superiority.
Since he set his goal to enter the top three, a confrontation with Wang Ze Wen was inevitable.
With his current skills and trump cards in play, he believes there is a possibility of defeating Wang Ze Wen.
Of course, this is a matter for the future; Wang Ze Wen is merely his hypothetical opponent.
Right now, Liou Yuan is more concerned about another matter.
"Having developed the Sushui Sword aura, I can now train the swordsmanship from the ’Sushui’ volume."
Green Tide Sword aura can be used to deploy Shock Tide Sword momentum, displaying great fanfare and a grand aura.
The Sushui Sword aura naturally also possesses matching swordsmanship, known as "Silent Rain Cutter."
"With just two days until the Outer Sect training begins, that should be enough time for me to practice the ’Silent Rain Cutter’ swordsmanship."
Liou Yuan tightened his grip on the Canglan Sword, gently moving across the water surface stirred restlessly by his swordsmanship.
The youth wielding the sword showed a resolute face; as the rain intensified, the river retained only his blurred silhouette, blending into the misty rain scene.
Whether it be the Canglan Sword or the breakthrough of the Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship, all of these form Liou Yuan’s basis for aiming at the top three in this Outer Sect training.
Additionally, there is another way to enhance Liou Yuan’s strength.
That is through the Array inheritance of "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation."
However, with such limited time, even though Liou Yuan possesses some talent in the realm of arrays, it’s impossible to comprehend this array inheritance within just a month.
Since the last time he inscribed the foundational Water Gathering Array, Liou Yuan consecutively inscribed three more foundational arrays: Cyan Wood Array, Red Fire Array, and Earth Spirit Array.
Only the final Gold-Breaking Array is left, after which the five foundational arrays will be fully learned.
Then, he would officially be learning the Array inheritance.
Given ten more days, Liou Yuan is confident he can succeed.
